    An automated logon script? What are you talking about?

    If you mean a script to automatically logon to a Unix box (though neither Apache and Sendmail are limited to Unix, but hey), then you should probably look at Expect.

    Put "Expect" into a search engine, and check out what it's capable of. Perl is also capable of automatically logging into a box over telnet/ssh.

    Is this through Expect? Because I've been looking for a telnet/ssh Perl client.

    It shouldn't be that hard to create a perl telnet client, considering there's a Net::Telnet perl module which allows you to connect and login to local and remove telnet daemons.

    Expect is VERY easy.

    #!/usr/local/bin/expect
    spawn telnet 0
    expect "ogin:"
    send "phil\r"
    expect "assword:"
    send "MyPassword\r"


    1. First line is a HASH bang (you're going to need a shell that supports that to use it) to run the interpreter expect.
    2. Run the telnet program
    3. Expect the string "ogin:"
    4. When that's received send "phil", the login name.
    5. Expect the string "assword:"
    6. Send your password.

    Phil.
